This item is NOT authentic.  It's a fun oddity though.  It's likely you will never actually own one of the authentic ones because there were only 253 ever made, and it was retired the same day it was introduced, only available to select Ty reps - the authentic ones pretty much never come up for sale and if they did, would likely sell for thousands.  This is probably the next best thing and a much better price!!!  Smoke-free and pet-free.

Satisfaction guaranteed - love it or return it for a 100% full refund.
